    BTW Clutchfans, Deandre Jordan is an unrestricted Free Agent after this year.

    And he is making less than 900k this year.

    He should be one of the top targets for DM.

    Ya I was hesitant on saying that but I'm just making the assumption that he'll revert back to how he was last season. I will give him credit as to him making shots now (which does show some improvement) but it's a toss up.

    What a great game! Ugly game, but great nonetheless. I jumped off the couch and started yellin when Lowry hit that layup, I forgot there were people sleeping in the house. :eek:

    On a side note, I'm really looking foward to seeing what Williams brings to the table, as of now, Budinger is not doing well, it will be interesting to see if Williams replaces Budinger in the rotation.

    He doesn't suck in general. But he sucked bad tonight, if you notice how the Clips took away our 16 pt lead when he was commanding the point.

    Foul trouble. God every time someone doesn't play much he must be in the dog house?

    LOL, Graffix... must have been his third birthday.

    Williams must be licking his chops watching Budinger. It was nice to see Brooks set up some teammates tonight. His first step and handle are just not there yet. Going to be a few more games.

    Looks like the Rockets have finally found a closing set. The Martin-Scola-Battier triangle. It's been money for the last two games. The Chuckwagon rolled hard tonight. Even saw The_Yoyo on TV! Fun game. I like winning. :cool:

    Agree 100%. Plus, he's a Houston kid (note the tattoo on his right shoulder), so he'll probably have a high interest in returning to the H.

    Thankfully it gave PP some time to play and boy was he a stud. He made some really great defensive stops and his rotations were on spot.

    I think we should send Bud to the D-league & let Twill play :grin:

    Tonight is the Rockets first win in more than a month

    Tonight is the Rockets first win in more than a month in which they did not shoot 40% from the 3 pt line.

    The team has been riding on their excellent shooting to their wins in recent weeks. Good to see them pulling out a win with their D when the shots aren't falling.

    I like cbud, but if after this christmas break, he still plays like that, I believe Twill should get some of his minutes.

    If he continues to play like that, then he should be sitting on the bench with Patpat ;)

    Simple question, didn't catch the entire game. This is a basketball message board, if you have an issue with a member asking a question about the game, GTFO.

    Probably just match up problems. He got really burned against Griffin.

    you also have to factor in that Clippers are such a bad team too

    But anyway, this is the direction they should be heading, continue to play great offense and improve their defense.

    Well since you asked that question, I knew you didn't watch the game. But, when people don't watch the game and see the min in box score they always say the same thing. Dog House or Trade showcase.
